Excerpt: Samuel de Champlain (c. 1567 or 1580 December 25, 1635) ( IPA: ), "The Father of New France", was a French navigator, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat and chronicler, who founded Quebec City on July 3, 1608. Born into a family of master mariners, Champlain, while still a young man, began exploring North America in 1603 under the guidance of François Gravé Du Pont. From 1604-1607, Champlain participated in the exploration and settlement of Acadia, then, in 1608, established the French settlement that is now Quebec City. Champlain was the first European to explore and describe the Great Lakes, and published maps of his journeys and accounts of what he learned from the natives and the French living among the Natives. He formed relationships with local Montagnais and Innu and later with others further west (Ottawa River, Lake Nipissing, or Georgian Bay), with Algonquin and with Huron Wendat, and agreed to provide assistance in their wars against the Iroquois. In 1620, Louis XIII ordered Champlain to cease exploration, return to Quebec, and devote himself to the administration of the country. In every way but formal title, Samuel de Champlain served as Governor of New France, a title that may have been formally unavailable to him due to his non-noble status. He established trading companies that sent goods, primarily fur, to France, and oversaw the growth of New France in the St. Lawrence River valley until his death in 1635. Champlain is also memorialized as the "Father of New France", and many places, streets, and structures in northeastern North America bear his name, or have monuments established in his memory.

An Excerpt from the book-

_Old Settlers on the River Saint John. New-Brunswick erected into a
Government, and settled by the Loyalists in 1783-4. Difficulties of the
first Settlers. List of successive Governors and Presidents._


The Province of New-Brunswick formerly formed a part of Nova-Scotia,
which was the first European settlement on the Continent of North
America.--The first grant of land in it was given by King JAMES the
FIRST to Sir WILLIAM ALEXANDER, in 1621--from whom it had the name of
Nova-Scotia or New Scotland. It was at that time regarded by the
English as a part of CABOT'S discovery of Terra-Nova. The first
settlers, however, were emigrants from France, who as early as the year
1604 came to the Country with DE MONT, a French adventurer, and gave it
the name of Acadia.

This country frequently changed masters; passing from the French to the
English, and back again, till it was finally ceded in full sovereignty
to the British at the peace of Utrecht in 1713.

In 1760, a number of persons from the County of Essex, in
Massachusetts, obtained a grant of a Township, twelve miles square, on
the River Saint John, from the British Government; and after several
delays in exploring and surveying, they commenced a settlement at
Maugerville.
